    This post is nearly identical to the one I added for W3 Cache plugin. The two plugins I rely upon for all clients are:

    • Backupwordpress
    • W3 Total Cache

    So this post applies to your plugin as well.

    I just want you to know that I got a client who called me whom was very angry and resulted in me losing the retainer. They said “how can you put in a plugin that is blacklisted by Godaddy?”

    Losing the job is my problem but the way Godaddy presents this is bull”” It leads those who do not understand to believe the plugin, the code, the name is not good and is a bad plugin to use.

    I had the client setup on a shared hosting, light traffic site, which worked fine. Subsequently the client moved themselves to a wordpress hosting account at Godaddy, so that is why they got the email. I purposefully chose the shared hosting because the Manage WordPress hosting is a joke. Not only is it slower than shared hosting, administration of the hosting is limited to almost nothing.
    Here is the link, and I certainly hope you address this with them. https://support.godaddy.com/help/article/8964/managed-wordpress-blacklisted-plugins

    Hey,

    Really sorry to hear the trouble this caused you, we are aware that the plugin is listed on their disallowed plugins page and we’re working with them to resolve this issue. I agree that at the least the terminology they are using should be much better than it is.

    FYI, this is also an issue on WP Engine https://wpengine.com/support/disallowed-plugins/.

    To be clear the reason these hosts don’t allow backup plugins is because they already offer backups as a server, not because the backup plugins are bad. But they are not clear enough about that.
